last time you sat down with union folk? I do it every election in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. I am hoping Tim Ryan can win Ohio...it is more of a longshot than PA...but he is the only candidate who can win in Ohio IMHO. I believe the same to be true of Fetterman in Pennsylvania.

We need to continue to win cities and siphon off votes in small districts and suburbs. I use the example that Joe Biden would not have won Georgia without the votes of Paulding County...a red district which Trump won overall with a substantial margin. We need to start getting out our voters in all districts for statewide races. Thus if we can get votes out of what is often called 'Alabama' in PA, and hold the cities, we will win. Fetterman has the best chance of doing this.

Well, I'm supporting Conor Lamb because I think he's got the best chance of actually winning. brooklynite Mar 2022 #3

Well have you looked at Lamb's last win. It was too close. Fetterman can win the union vote which is Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #6

He won Statewide on the coattails of Governor Wolf, and won the Primary with only 37% brooklynite Mar 2022 #10

We can agree to disagree. Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #16

Fetterman defeated the sitting Lieutenant Governor- ran with Wolf during his second term election. Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #18

The voters in the Primary aren't the voters in the General... brooklynite Mar 2022 #20

You need to win a primary in order to win a general election AZProgressive Mar 2022 #21

I'm aware of that. I'll leave the Primary choice to the Pennsylvania voters. brooklynite Mar 2022 #22

That is kind of silly as Fetterman has won statewide where as Lamb barely won his house seat. Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #26

He and wolf won the General and I believe Fetterman really helped Wolf...also, a sitting Demsrule86 Mar 2022 #24
